Voted "Best Local Illusionist of 2020" by Inland Empire Magazine

ABOUT GREG

Greg VanHolsbeck has been fascinated with magic and illusion since he discovered a Marshall Brodien magic kit at ten years old.

As a shy, quiet kid he was by no means a "born entertainer" or the life of the party, but this fascination quickly turned to an obsession as Greg collected piles of books and absorbed everything he could on the subject of prestidigitation.

Fifteen years later, VanHolsbeck has made a career out of his obsession by creating his own opportunities in Southern California.

His one-man show "Handcrafted Mysteries" has appeared in numerous locations, including it's current weekly residency at The Claremont Forum Bookstore. The show is highly interactive and features Greg's original pieces of magic.

​

Greg VanHolsbeck believes in bringing innovation and creativity to the art of magic with every performance.
